President's Appeal

I humbly request you all on behalf of the charity that we are in desperate need of all sort of medical equipment and medical supplies etc. to support our independently run hospitals. We also welcome any other form of donation that you would like to offer, for instance we require enthusiastic Ophthalmologists, Opticians as well as OT assistants to help us with the free eye camps at remote areas at Pakistan. It will be mutually beneficial for SHOs & Registrars to master some of those essential techniques that they will hardly get any chance at UK, e.g. ECCE with implantation which is performed as a routine in this country. We would also need similar staff from other medical specialties in the near future once the relevant departments at our hospitals at Pakistan are up and running for which we require your cooperation to donate as much as possible.

In this regard, We have bought a new Carl Zeiss Operating Microscope VISU 200 for £25,000 from Carl Zeiss UK. We are also negotiating with Sight Savers International, Christian Blind Mission International (CBMI) and other similar reputable charitable organizations. We appeal everybody to donate generously since thousands of poor patients suffering from complicated eye diseases would benefit from our expertise which would definitely require a top of the range operating equipment.

Furthermore, Al-Ain International Eye Trust would like to make an appeal to all the national and multi-national pharmaceutical companies to come forward and join hands with us in providing free eye care to the deserving people through their contribution in form of of cash or/and much needed medical supplies (medicines and protective eye gear). Companies as well as individuals can also contribute/sponsor Cataract Surgery for needy patients. An estimated cost of one such surgery is approximately Rs.7000.

Your's Sincerely,
